To all when, it may-concern:

Be it known that I, Gsonoz E. Pmnmrs, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Imola, county of Napa, State of California, haveinvented a new and ful Antiglare Shield, of which the followine is aspecification.

This invention relates to shields as used on automobiles for protectingthe eyes of the drivers from the glare of the sun whcn same is low'inthe sky. I v

The objects of my improvements are to provide a shield of this characterwhich may easily be installed on any automobile and which will protectthe eyes of the driver from rays either coming from the front or fromone side of the vehicle.

V The objects mentioned may be realized in e various ways in order tocarry out the invention an in the drawings accompanying thisspecification one simple method of doing so is shown through the specialarrangement of a common type glare shield whereby it Inaybeswung from aposition parallel with "ihe"iin'dsh1eld to a position at right anglesthe'rewithdalong the side of the drivers face. v t

Figure Lisa perspective representation of a portion of an automobilewith its driver 9 and my improred glare shield in front of the driverpa'rallel to the plane of the winch shield, hut adjusted to slantdownwardly toward the driver. p Figure 2 is a similar view, but showsthe 3 glare shield arranged alongside the vehicle at right angles to itsposition as shown m ,Figure 1. i Figure 3 is an enlarged plan view ofthe glass glare shield itself secured to its suppoting rod and showing aba'l-i'joint atone Figure 4 shows the socket adapted to clamp to thewindshield frame and with the ball or the glare shield rod indicated inplace. i e

' Figure 5 shows one of the snap hook supports for the free end of therod. 1

In further detail, 1 is a rectangular glare shield preferably of greenglass, though it may be of any shape and of any other suitable material,and maybe set in a frame or not.

f Along the upper edge is afiixed a red 2 having.anne-zetension 3 atoneendznd a-vhall 4 at th'fioth'en f Thefglere shieldispgdaptedfto behinged- USO- ly, supported adjacent the windshield s of t e eutomobile 6by a socket 7 which embraces 'theib'ail, and a clip 8' whi'chsupportsthe free end-I3 of the rod.

Two clips are used, one pre-ferabl .se-

cured to the mine of the windshie das shown at A and one to the topframe of the eutomobile as shown at B.

The ball socket is adapted to be secured to the upper corner frame 9- ofthe top,

or of the windshield, in any convenient manner, such as by the screw 9,and the socket is preferably open at the bottom for the imsertion of theball and slottedat 11 so that when the hall is inthe socket the rod maythen =cooperates"-with thesoeket to er-mit hingedly swinging the glareshield from a "e-rtical position through any angle to e position "fiatagain-st the under side of the roof 13-.of'the vehicle.

The ball is frictionally held within the socket bymeans' of a lower nut14 "which screws over t-he-low-er-open end of the socket and functionsas" a support fort -the under side of the ball, and a 'smallhendwheel 15is provided on thenut so that any desired pressure may be. given "to thehall for r.e turning the shield in any adjusted posi tion.

By the arrzrng ment described it ivill he I seen thatthe free end of therod can he lifts-id out of its supporting clip 8 and swung at rightangles and placed in the other. clip, I

pended claiin any modification of structure coming within the spirit ofthe invention as disclosed. I claim: I
